You certainly make many valid points. I guess only time will tell. I harken back to 2012 when we were warned by so many on the right that if Obozo was elected a SECOND time it would be the End of America as we know it. Well?

As a political junkie for the past 10 years I never ever would have put money on him winning a second term given the disaster he created during the first 4 years. BUT I was wrong and am sure I will be wrong again - I think I am out of touch these days with the majority of Americans. Something to do with growing old and resisting change of any sort.

I think your perceptions are valid. You have a finger on the pulse of the country.

The problem is that a true cross-section of America does not show up at the polls. Rather it is a hard sell GOTV by Dems, bribe their constituent groups (Blacks, Gays, Union, welfare recipients, Atheists, poor, 47% crowd, etc.), while the Republican vote is suppressed and depressed by the nomination of milquetoast candidates whom Conservatives cannot stand to hold their noes and vote for.

Our candidates are chosen by the GOPe, corrupt media, and rigged open primary systems which allow clowns like McCain to slip through and supposedly represent us.
